🧱 Structure: How to Make It Stand Still
To make the rocket stand upright and hold its shape, do the following:
1. Inner Support (Foam Board or Plastic Canvas):
- Cut a circle the same diameter as your base
- Insert this between 2 crocheted base layers or hot glue underneath
- Cut 3 rectangular strips and glue vertically inside the body (like wall beams)
2. Thick Yarn + Tight Stitches:
Use a stiff, non-stretch yarn like T-shirt yarn or hold 2 yarn strands together
Crochet tightly to ensure walls are rigid
3. Door Reinforcement:
Add a wire or piping around the door frame between the stitches to keep the shape from sagging
4. Weight or Grip Base:
Add a nonslip fabric to the bottom or place a weighted insert inside the base
🧺 Interior
